She - 1965 - 6/10

Color remake of the Rider Haggard novel.
Archeologists hear of a lost Egyptian city and set forth.
Once there, they discover it is not quite a dead civilization after all.
Hammer film, bypassing their usual horror tropes, this is adventure territory.
Ursula Andress is fetching as the ageless Ayesha, “She who must be obeyed.”
Nonetheless, either Ursula cannot act or Ayesha’s social skills lapsed over the centuries.
Stiffer than baked cardboard. As is romantic hunk, John Richardson.
